The Henrico County Police Division TEMPO (Technology Enhanced Modern Policing Operations) workgroup was formed on April 24, 2012, to develop and implement Police Divisions new brand of policing. As the workgroup progressed, Henrico County Information and Technology was brought in as a partner to take the workgroups technological ideas to the next level by expanding on them to bring them to fruition: the TEMPO Dashboard. The TEMPO Dashboard is a portal that links the full suite of Police Division computer applications from one program, deriving its data from the Police Division’s Computer Aided Dispatch, GIS, and Operational programs including Incident Crime Report, Arrest, Field Interview Reports, and warrant databases, combined with mapping technology to plot crime relevant information based on an officers location displayed on their MDC in real time. It also provides a forum for enhanced communications between officers so they can accurately share information between zones, Stations, or countywide. The TEMPO Dashboard represents the efficient use of technology to enhance the officer’s ability to better analyze, understand, track, and address crime and quality of life issues while increasing officer safety and awareness in order to improve the overall police services provided to the citizens of Henrico County.
